Additional information
by Matt Hay (Author)
An inspiring memoir of a young man who discovered he was going completely deaf just at the moment he'd fallen in love for the first time.
As a child, Matt Hay didn't know his hearing wasn't the way everyone else processed sound--because of the workarounds he did to fit in, even the school nurse didn't catch his condition at the annual hearing and vision checks. But by the time he was a prospective college student and couldn't pass the entrance requirements for West Point, Hay's condition, generated by a tumor, was unavoidable: his hearing was going, and fast.
